I stayed at the bayview for 3 nights. All in all I would stay again, it was well priced and centrally located. The hotel is a little dated but nothing major. The gym is pretty basic and although I didn't use it as it was raining the pool seemed pretty good. it's about 30 min from the airport and pretty central for Georgetown. Red Garden hawker center is about a 3 min walk from the hotel which is good. There is also a small nightlife area about 5 min from the hotel. Though I found it a bit average but I wouldn't say Penang as a whole is a bit average in nightlife. I stayed in the stock standard superior room which was clean enough and had the expected facilities. For those who don't like hard bed's beware! I never ate in the hotel as you have so much great food outside so can't comment on the food. All in all I would stay again.

Thank you for taking the time to post your review on TripAdvisor. Your positive rating of the hotel is very much appreciated. We certainly look forward to welcoming you back to Bayview Hotel Georgetown Penang in the not too distance future.

We had a great, big room with a fantastic view over Georgetown. Everything was clean and functional. The hotel is a bit impersonal, but is within walking distance from most sights in Georgetown. The Red Garden Food Paradise was only 4 minutes away. There is also a pool, eventhough it is very small its still great to cool down after a day of walking around in Georgetown's humid weather.

LOCATION-----Located conveniently in one of the best locations possible in Georgetown. Walking distance for most of the attractions and even if you want to grab a late night bite or a beer everything is few minutes away from the hotel and there are few nightclubs and pubs which will become more vibrant during weekends.

SERVICE-----Staff was friendly and very accommodating. We happened to arrive earlier than we planned and they gave us an early check in as early as 8:00AM and gave us late checkout up to 2:00PM.

ROOMS & CLEANLINESS-----Rooms are more or less what you expect from a hotel in the price range and from a country in the region. Bedlinen seemed to be clean, yet carpets didn't look (or smell) like regularly cleaned. Overall it's not bad unless you have allergies to muold or anything.

Overall: I guess one of the best locations around Georgetown for the price vs facilities/location.

I stayed at new wing, the rooms was very clean and comfortable. The location is good, which you can walk to eateries and shopping mall in walking distance. However it has no specialties, and it is more suitable for business travelers than individuals. For individual travelers they might prefer a beach hotel instead.

Wi-fi was provided based on complimentary basis. The bathroom is clean and tidy.

Did not get a chance to try out their breakfast though.

Moderate hotel overall.

We had a lovely week's stay at this hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was fine too.The location was excellent and it was easy to walk to many of the tourist attractions and restaurants in Georgetown.We were staying on the 10th floor with a great sea-view. Room was fine and wifi was provided. The manager kindly offered to move us to the 15th floor when a room became available after a few days. This had newer furniture and was a slightly bigger room but we decided to stay put.Overall, I would recommend this hotel and return here again.

Room Tip: For non-smokers.
The 16th floor which is often mentioned in TA is in the premium deluxe category i...
